Doctors’ Quarters Need Urgent Repairs

THE doctors’ living quarters located at Quamina and Waterloo Streets is slowly but surely becoming an ‘eye sore,’ according to observers.

At present, the deteriorating condition of the building is causing serious inconvenience for the doctors, as many have had to contend with a leaking roof apart from other problems.

‘Water gushes into some of the quarters whenever it rains heavily and almost floods the entire flat,’ one source stated.

“TERMITES” Another source feels the building should be demolished and rebuilt. since termites have destroyed most of the quarters.

It was reported that repairs to the building had started about three months ago but has been halted due to insufficient finance.

The compound is also in a very insanitary state, because the garbage is hardly ever collected; the vegetation is overgrown and many stray animals roam the compound, a source said.

During recent weeks, thieves have broken into two of the quarters and it was confirmed that doctors lost several valuable articles.

Sources have linked the thefts to an inefficient security system and to the easy access persons have to the compound. ‘The fences at the back have been broken for some time now,’ one source said.

Most of the foreign doctors who reside at the quarters are unable to cope with the unhygienic conditions. Despite several reports about the matter, nothing has been done to relieve the inconveniences.

BREAD, like gold is where you find it, and this unruly crowd has found it at a bakery in Albouystown. With a bag of flour being sold on the blackmarket at $3,000 , bread prices have gone through the ceiling.
